Dr. Lee’s research focuses on the epidemiology of diabetes in children, and health outcomes and quality of life for children with type 1 diabetes. Dr. Lee is a co-investigator for cost-effectiveness for the national multi-center randomized controlled trial to evaluate the use of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) systems for improving health outcomes and quality of life for children with type 1 diabetes, funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Artificial Pancreas Program.

Because of her specialized training in pediatric endocrinology and pediatric health services research, Dr. Lee was appointed to the editorial board of the journal Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine in March 2007.

Dr. Lee’s area of research interest is focused on health services delivery for children with type 1 diabetes. She plans to pursue a series of studies to identify which types of providers care for children with type 1 diabetes, to characterize the setting and quality of care provided to children with type 1 diabetes, and to explore the extent and rate at which new technologies become available to children with type 1 diabetes, which is of specific relevance to a possible cure for T1D.
